W/T/VESSES UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

FREDERICK SGHULTE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

TOBACCO-Pl PE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,962, dated NOVembCr14, 1865.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK SCHULTE, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,have invented certain Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes 5 and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to theletters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists, rst, in certain detachable corks in combinationwith the stem ot' a pipe and with certain longitudinal openings in thesame, so that the latter may be readily cleansed; secondly, corru gatingthe interior of the stem ot' a pipe so that moisture from the mouth maybe retained in the stem in a position to be evaporated by the passageover it of the heated smoke from the tobacco.

In order to enable others to make and use my invention, I will nowproceed to describe its construction and operation.

On reference to the accompanying' drawings, which form a part of thisspecification, Figure l is a sectional view of my improved tobacco-pipe;Fig. 2, a section on the line l 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a section on the line3 4, Fig. l; Fig. 4, a section on the line 5 6, Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 adetached perspective view.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A is a reservoir, in which are two openings, one being adapted for thereception of a hollow projection, a, at the lower end of the bowl B, andthe other for the reception ot' the end ofthe stem of the pipe. The stemconsists of two sections, C and D, which are connected by acoupling, E,asimilar coupling, E,being used for connecting the mouth-piece F to theupper end of the section D. The section D is contracted in diameter atthe middle, and the interior of both the section I) and mouth-piece F iscorrugated, for a purpose described hereinafter.

Within the section c are three longitudinal openings e, e', and c", andin the upper ends of the openings eand e are inserted corks t', and inthe lower ends of the openings e' and e' are similar corks, i', thedifferent openings communicating with each other so that there shall bea continuous passage from the lower end ot' the opening e to the upperend of the opening e.

Vithin the bowl B fits a metal case, G, at the upper end of which is aflange, k, and to the latter is hinged the usual lid, H.

The smoke from the burning tobacco in the bowl B passes into thereservoir A, through the openings c, e', and e, through the section Dand mouth-piece F, into the mouth of the smoker.

It will be apparent that by the arrangement of openings in the section Ca passage equal to that in a stem three times thelength of the section Uis gained without any increase in the length in this stem, and that, onaccount ot' the extent of surface with which the smoke is thus broughtin contact, it reaches the mouth in a much cooler condition than itwould in a pipe with a shorter passage.

By removing the corks z' and i the openings c in the sections G may7 bereadily cleansed when they have become foul.

The greater portion ot" the moisture escaping from the mouth into thestem is retained within the interstices between the corrugations in theinterior of the section D and the mouth-piece, the heat of the smoke asit passes to the mouth evaporating the moisture, and thus removing itfrom the stem.

Ibsen it is desirable to diminish the length ot' the stem this may bedone by removing one ot' the sections C orD and connecting the other tothe reservoir.

The use of American brier, rosewood, and other soft or gummy woods forthe bowls ot' tobacco-pipes has heretofore been objectionable, as theheat of the burning tobacco both burns away the bowl and also causes thegum my matters in the wood to exude, rendering the bowl unpleasant tohandle. By the use of the metal casing Gr both these objections areovercome, and the oil from the tobacco is also prevented frompenetrating the pores ot' the wood and fouling the pipe.

It' desirable, the bowl may be removed and the end of a cigar may beinserted into the opening in the reservoir adapted for the reA ceptionof the projection a.

Ido not claim the reservoir A with its two 2. Gorrugating the interiorof :t pipe-stem openings adapted for the reception of the end for thepurpose set forth. of the stem and the bowl; but In testimony whereofIhave signed my name I claim as my invention and desire to secure tothis specification in the presence of two subby Letters Patent- 1. Thedetachable corks or plugs i and i', combined with the stem of a pipe undadapted to longitudinal openings e, e', and o in the same, substantiallyas described.
